Along Came Sweetness

Lyric: Mort Dixon
Music: Harry Warren
Year: 1928
Original publisher: Remick Music Corp.

Verse 1:

What did the little blackbirds sing
Ev'ry morning in the spring?
Boo-hoo, poor you, nobody seems to care.
Why did the blackbirds sympathize?
They saw yearning in my eyes,
And then just when I was in despair:

Chorus:

Along came sweetness,
A little bunch of sweetness,
And made life sweet for me.
Along came sweetness
To end my incompleteness,
And set my love dreams free.
I used to dread the night
And run from the moon;
I was a sorry sight
To look at in June;
And then along came sweetness,
A little bunch of sweetness,
And made life sweet for me.

Verse 2:

Why was I feeling sad and blue,
Wond'ring what on earth to do?
Oh, gee, poor me, I just wander'd on.
I never had a single kiss,
Not a single night of bliss,
I'd sigh, "Oh, my!" and when hope was gone:

[Chorus]
